Great hiking shoe - Oboz Firebrand II Low B-DRY Hiking Shoes - Women's

I think I found a winner! Haven’t had the opportunity to put them to the full hiking test, but have worn them around the house, up and down stairs multiple times, just to see if they require initial breaking in. They seem to fit just fine with no issues as yet - will put them to good use on a hike in a couple of days - so will update then, if necessary. They are really comfy - last pair of hikers (a notable brand) was the reason behind me researching and discovering the Oboz brand, having caused strain in my achilles. Haven’t found that to be the case with Oboz Firebrand. Also, this model is a very attractive shoe- much gratitude to the keen Oboz designers - not an easy task to create a reliable, well featured shoe for the outdoors and good looks, too
